The Terror: AMC's latest drama series has proven to be a respectable player in the past weeks. It's currently performing decently on its Sunday night home, and ratings alone could score it another season. However, to sweeten the deal, the psychological horror also has the luxury of an Amazon Video deal, and has already had its entire season released on demand, which is to be accounted for when looking at the ratings. Fans will certainly be seeing another season in 2019.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ending

Legion: The breakout Marvel series was a solid performer for FX in the spring of 2017, and was easily renewed for a second season. However, when the X-Men drama came back this spring, the audience did not. It's currently down a massive 52% y2y in the golden demo, and is currently pulling ratings in the mid 0.2s. Obviously, these ratings are quite disappointing, and shocking considering how well the series was doing last year. With the expenses a show like Legion brings, the slate of FX, and the ratings considered, it's not likely that Legion will return. The only save could be if the ratings increase substantially and if the Marvel factor has a pull in renewal.
